Summary
Christian conservative efforts are reshaping public education, with states like Texas approving optional Bible-based lessons for elementary schools and other states introducing measures promoting religious content.
Critics argue these initiatives violate the First Amendment’s separation of church and state, favor Christianity, and risk indoctrination, particularly for younger students.
Proponents, including state officials and Trump, see these actions as affirming America’s religious heritage.
Legal battles are ongoing in states like Louisiana and Oklahoma, while debates continue nationwide over the role of religion in public schools amid broader cultural shifts.
The Republican Party is turning into the Christian version of the Taliban. They hide under the “freedom” label, but only their kind of freedom is acceptable. If you depart slightly from their narrow definition of “religious liberty,” it’s not allowed. Or as the bible clearly states: “Freedom for me, not for thee.”
